you can oc them to at least 950core/1375mem

then you will easily break 22k+

I am an OCing moron and just wanted to get 4ghz and break 20K in 3DMark06 (couldnt get my 4870s to)

I will spend a bit more time playing with settings, but so far I got the 965 to 4.1Ghz (pretty cool with just an AC Freezer in my Sff case. It really bugged me that there were people badmouthing the Freezer)
EDIT:
Ok I am using the ATI tool and cranked them all the way up but it dosent show in GPUZ

 

[(FIH) The Don]

what, i dont believe that hahaXD

its sooo easy, you can do it in CCC,

just set the core to about 950 and the mem to aroung 1350

the freezer is good on amd boards, but the mounting sucks on intel boards, (its the freezer extreme right?)

EDIT: thats strange, and hey, dont max them out, just a little bit under the max

 

[MKmods]

No I am using the plain old AC Freezer.. (its my back up cooler, my SFF case runs a lot cooler than reg tower ones do)

I just backed them off a bit , everything still works. I have the fans at 100% (sound like vacuum cleaners)
Temps are OK under 50C but I am a lot happier when they are in the 30's.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

wow, well its always been a good cooler i think, it dosn't look so cool but it def keep the cpu cool at any normal speeds i think.

i had my fans running at around 55% and it wasn't that loud at all, i think the coolers on those cards are very low noise? but yeah, at 100% any cooler sounds like a small jet engine hahaXD

but try a test run, and maybe restart GPU-z? dont know why its not showing the right speeds

 

[MKmods]

I just DL AMD Overdrive and it shows the right OC..

Im gonna leave it there today and see how it works...

And yes at stock (50% for my XFX cards) its really quiet. but anything above its loud (irritating to me) I am probably gonna throw all this in my Bad Boys tribute case and it all will be water cooled.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

strange, then you just need a new run to see if its stable:-D

 

[MKmods]

I set my 965 back to 3.4 and ran 3Dmark06 with the GPUS OCd (ran fine) got 18548

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah, thats pretty decent i think.

but 06 is VERY Clock hungry, meaning that if you have a 4ghz cpu it will give you a crazy point boost compared to stock speeds.

anyways, oc'ing is only for benching i think, not for daily use, i run any game maxxed out on stock speed with my setup, and i also have the 965 with 2 5770s,

 

[MKmods]

Now I wish I had kept my X58 Bloodrage to compare against this one.

I have wondered about this, while I was goofing off with the bench I had Steam on, listening to internet radio and DL a few torrents... Does that have an effect on bench scores?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

aww the bloodrage is a veeeeryyy naaaice board i think,

too bad denmark suck when it comes to hardware, we dont have those exotic brands like you guys have, and the prices are like 50% over yours

how do you think the 965 is compared to a 920 ? i've had both and i honestly miss my x58 setup

mja maybe a little, but i dont think it has a major impact, maybe a little on the cpu score?

 

[MKmods]

I was using a W3503 (dual core) on mine and it was fine. Looked amazing

(I love red/black)

But honestly to me I like AMD better as it is easier for me to play with and I have less probs (temps are WAY lower too)
I worked for almost a week to design an efficient mobo cooling for the bloodrage...(all custom copper coolers)
But when I got the Asus Crosshair III I just plugged it in and it ran cool (I havent done a single thing to it yey)

Sorry about the high cost in Denmark. You should have PMd me, I sold my Bloodrage modded and all tricked out for 1/2 of US cost to a guy in the UK ( who proceeded to destroy all my good work :shadedshu)

 

[(FIH) The Don]

wow that is one stunning picture, i just added that as my new desktop background

you do? hmm but okay, if you only had a dualcore before and all that work/problems then i can understand that you are happy not to do all that work again

yeah that SUCKS bigtime, sometimes i order from some german and English companys instead,
take for an example the XFX 5870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150443&cm_re=5870-_-14-150-443-_-Product costs around 400$

here it is in denmark http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?q=5870&sp=all&pid=696239 that is 2763 DKK, devide that with around 5.5 that is like 500+ $thats just insane.

aww too bad, how did he destroy you work? i would have bought it from you, custom cooling and all that, that is not something you see everyday

 

[MKmods]

It was funny I designed the mobo to be the most efficient with air cooling and he wanted to cool with water. But I epoxied the heatsinks on, he said he could poor water than freeze it and they would pop off (I says no like 4 times but he did it anyways)
It made me sadder for him than me but it was a waste.

Good run.

And there's nothing wrong with the Freezer per se, it's just that there are more effective coolers for the money these days. It really isn't worth buying at it's price anymore. Doesn't hurt if you already have one tho.

 

[MKmods]

I think I paid $9 for mine (AR) There are more reasons for recommending it over the others though,
1- is it can mount any of 4 ways (so no fan blowing up if you dont want)
2-its quite a bit lower profile than the others so its easier to mount in cases where a 6" tall cooler wont fit (my main reason for choosing it)
3-its about as close to silent as you can get (even so the 965 runs in the low 40C range at 4.04Ghz)
4-its very light weight
5-It mods nicely
I finally figured how to get GPUz to show the OC of the XFXs so im a happy camper now. When they said the 5770s OC like crazy they wernt kidding...

 

[(FIH) The Don]

thats cool MK, how high did you get with them?

 

[MKmods]

I got them to 950/1425 (and able to complete 3Dmark06)

Im having trouble getting the 965 over 4.1 so Im gonna wait till later on and take a bit of time to learn what the hell I am adjusting.

It has been pretty fun to just set the multi to 20 and reach 4ghz with no other adjustments though..(it wasent that long ago when I was hoping to be able to get to 3ghz)

For $9, you can't argue. As far as performance tho, my lapped Opteron 4 pipe cooler works just as well as my lapped freezer, is just as light, and takes up less space in the process. So if you are paying full price for the cooler, there are still better choices.

 

[MKmods]

I have 5 of those coolers in boxes, I guess I should give then a try.

I think I never bothered to use them as I prefer to keep air moving from front to back. (or side to side in my case, lol)

I should mention I use an 80mm fan on the Opty cooler to replace the slim 70mm it comes with.

Did a little tweaking, added a huge 5mhz to the GPU speed but more importantly raised the uncore on the CPu which gave me just over 200 points, I will be getting my 2nd Toxic back at the weekend so i will try some Xfire goodness then......

Tatty_One|Sapphire HD4890 Toxic|1035 core|1125 mem|21,280|core i7 920 C0 @ 4.2gig

 

[(FIH) The Don]

that should give you at least 26k i think

 

[Tatty_Two]

that should give you at least 26k i think

Hopefully, I got 25,590 with the CPU at 4gig but with HT on (cant do 4.2 with it on as this C0 chip gets too toasty) but I think 2006 prefers HT off...... not sure on that one, if so that 200mhz should hopefully give me a fair increase in score.
